According to some reports there are about 1.9M twitter users in
Pakistan. This was mentioned by someone in #SOCMM12 but there doesn’t
seem to be any source of this information.

I had been collecting twitter data for quite some time. Sample data
contains more than 100K Pakistani twitter users crawled using twitter
API. Only public profiles who have mentioned Pakistan or some pakistani
city name in their profile were considered for this analysis. This data
contains almost all active tweeple of Pakistan.

Here are the results of data analysis:

Geological location:

About half of Pakistani tweeps live in major cities like Karachi, Lahore
and Islamabad/Rawalpindi.

24.5% in Punjab (just 64.4% of them in Lahore, rest in other cities
of punjab)

21.6% in Sindh (with 92.6% of them in Karachi)

10.0% in Islamabad

2.6% in KPK (with 58.7% of them in Peshawar)

0.96% in Balochistan

0.45% in Azad Kashmir

Gender:

used on first names in twitter profiles:

Verified Twitter Accounts:

Who has the most followers in Pakistan?

As you can see from the results, follower count is no longer an
influence measure. Our politicians and media person are running after
the follower count. To achieve this, they hire services which
artificially increase the follower count using some techniques or bogus
accounts. By looking at the followers list of any famous politician,
you’ll realize that many of the followers are with default dp, no
follower, very few baseless statuses and a few tweeple following. I am
trying to make a list with klout score of tweeps. This list will be
published soon.

Here is a list of top Pakistani tweeple according to their follower count:

Note: The follower count may have increased or decreased by the time
you’re reading this.
Note2: If you feel that I have missed any person, please feel free to
comment and I will update the list.
